America must pray
The United States of America has enjoyed the favor of God and His protection and blessings for over 200 years. For the past several decades, however, this nation has in concerted and purposeful effort sought to remove our Creator and His Son Jesus Christ from our culture. As the immorality increases, so does the hatred of the name of Christ. We should expect nothing less, for indulgence of sin and hatred of His name are inseparable partners.

True revival shakes our foundations. It interrupts our plans. It is not accommodating to our agenda. It does not exalt my flesh; it crucifies it. It does not bring me, my church or “my ministry” attention or prominence: “He must increase and I must decrease.” It does not increase my influence; It increases His ability to mold, shape, form, and lead in His will for His glory.

God sets us on a journey, a quest of discovery, a path far different than we would have ever imagined and could have never designed. The Great Architect and Composer of lives and destinies sets us on this journey of unexplainable things. And what do we discover?
The mighty, awesome, powerful, amazing, unexplainable God.
Your Church Needs No Money!
We have discovered a way for our church to function without money. Will you cooperate? Each member will come to church during the week with a broom and mop to keep the building presentable. Then a paid janitor will not be necessary. Each member will take his or her turn playing an instrument and singing and directing worship. No music director will be needed. Each member will bring materials and tools to repair and maintain the building. Here we can really save money.

Some quotes from my personal journal: “Don’t park when God is calling you forward … People who are married to the past cannot embrace the future.” “Copying spiritual trends is just a form of carnality.” “Forgiveness liberates the soul and removes fear. That is why it is such a powerful weapon.” . . .
